背景资料：膳食补充剂的使用正在增加，但关于补充剂摄入量以及它们如何影响欧洲消费者的营养和健康的可比数据很少。本研究的目的是描述膳食补充剂的使用在10个国家的子样本参与欧洲前瞻性调查癌症和营养（EPIC.Methods）：膳食补充剂的使用的具体问题被问到作为一个单一的24小时回忆的一部分，36 034名男性和女性年龄在35-74岁，从1995年至2000年。在不同国家之间，女性使用膳食补充剂的平均百分比相差近10倍，男性的差异更大。在使用方面存在明显的南北梯度，北方国家的消费量较高。希腊的粗平均使用百分比最低（男子为2.0%，妇女为6.7%），丹麦最高（男子为51.0%，妇女为65.8%）。妇女的使用率高于男子。维生素，矿物质或它们的组合是主要类型的补充报告，但有显着的差异countries.Conclusions：这项研究表明，有很大的变化，在欧洲的补充使用，这可能会影响个人和人口的营养摄入量。研究结果强调，有必要监测欧洲膳食补充剂的消费，并评估其风险和益处。欧洲临床营养学杂志（2009）63，S226-S238; doi：10.1038/ejcn.2009.83
Background: Dietary supplement use is increasing, but there are few comparable data on supplement intakes and how they affect the nutrition and health of European consumers. The aim of this study was to describe the use of dietary supplements in subsamples of the 10 countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).Methods: Specific questions on dietary supplement use were asked as a part of single 24-h recalls performed on 36 034 men and women aged 35-74 years from 1995 to 2000.Results: Between countries, the mean percentage of dietary supplement use varied almost 10-fold among women and even more among men. There was a clear north-south gradient in use, with a higher consumption in northern countries. The lowest crude mean percentage of use was found in Greece (2.0% among men, 6.7% among women), and the highest was in Denmark (51.0% among men, 65.8% among women). Use was higher in women than in men. Vitamins, minerals or combinations of them were the predominant types of supplements reported, but there were striking differences between countries.Conclusions: This study indicates that there are wide variations in supplement use in Europe, which may affect individual and population nutrient intakes. The results underline the need to monitor consumption of dietary supplements in Europe, as well as to evaluate the risks and benefits.
